Shipping Cost from Seoul to Phnom Penh

Essentially, shipping from Korea is not expensive in itself, but it is international shipping that is expensive. In fact, Korea is considered one of the least expensive Asian countries for shipping.

Shipping from Korea to the USA varies wildly in price, from around $20-$50 for small, slow postal packages (Korea Post/USPS) to $100-$200+ for faster courier services (DHL/FedEx/UPS) or heavier items (Air Freight), and potentially thousands for large commercial sea freight. Costs depend on weight, dimensions, speed (air vs. sea), and carrier, with air being faster but pricier than ocean, though small items can be cheaper by air.

Getting a package from Korea can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of months, depending heavily on the shipping method: Express/Air freight (FedEx, EMS) is fastest (2-7 days), Standard Airmail (Korea Post) takes 1-3 weeks, while Sea Freight (slow boat) is the cheapest but slowest, often taking 1-3 months. Key factors are speed (air vs. sea), carrier, destination, customs, and peak seasons.
